Summary: | Pakistani Interior Minister Moinuddin Haider denied that FBI agents had assisted in Binalshibh's arrest Wednesday, the first anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the U.S., before an hours- long battle with assault rifles and hand grenades erupted in an upscale Karachi apartment building. [Ramzi Yousef], a master bomb-maker who is serving time in a federal prison, had plotted to kill [Benazir Bhutto] even as the FBI was on his trail. His uncle, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, is another suspected Sept. 11 conspirator and was with Binalshibh during the Al Jazeera television interview. Investigators are trying to determine whether Mohammed is still in Pakistan. Yosri Fouda, the host of a monthly investigative journalism program on Al Jazeera, said he got the interviews after Binalshibh contacted him by fax and phone and told him to fly to Karachi, where the reporter spent two days with Binalshibh and Mohammed. |
